Tyler,

I've checked a bit into the security properties issue.  I've adjusted the
java.policy file for the JDK to allow the right classes to do whatever they
want.  Also, I had the security properties message before when everything
worked okay.

I guess my question is, where is the security properties file that
Apache/JServ is referring to?

Thanks,
Marc Thompson

Marc,
  I'm no expert, but the line in the log right after startup that says

 "security properties not found. using defaults."

looks suspicious.  Perhaps you should figure out what's wrong there and then
see if that solves the problem?

You could also look at the source to org.apache.jserv.JServ.main and see
where a function might return a null pointer that is then used such that it
could cause a nullptrexception.  Then figure out why that function doesn't
work (possibly the aforementioned security stuff) and then fix that.

best of luck,
Tyler
